At Palfrey Infant School we take the Safeguarding of your child very seriously. Please share and discuss the guide below with your child, so they know who to speak to if they are worried. Together we can protect them.
Thank you, Mrs Walsh (Headteacher & Designated Senior Teacher for Safeguarding)
Our safeguarding link governor is Mr James Ludlow.
What is contextual safeguarding?
Contextual safeguarding looks at how we can best understand these risks, engage with children and young people and help to keep them safe. It's an approach that's often been used to apply to adolescents, though the lessons can equally be applied to younger children, especially in today's changing world.
What are examples of contextual safeguarding?
This list isn't exhaustive but includes:
We use Street Teams to discuss online safety , CSE , gangs and radicalisation
We follow the NSPCC Speak Out / Stay Safe resources across Key Stage 1.
Through working with parents and families we try to support and reduce the likelihood of these impacting our children in the future.
